Nike Flyknit Track Spike - London Olympics Launch

It’s hard not to miss the
bright colored spikes that are tearing up the Olympic Stadium in London. In the
image above, 7 runners alone are wearing the highlighter yellow spikes.
Nike’s Flyknit Track Spike helped both Mo Farah and Galen Rupp finish the 10k
in first and second respectively. Using the same upper as the Nike Flyknit
Racer, the spiked option offers runners a narrower fit specifically designed for
track performance, as well as dynamic flywire structured zones. The seamless
knitted upper is extremely breathable and makes this spike super lightweight
(3.9 oz). The Flyknit spike features an engineered Pebax plate with four removable
pins and a sharkskin heel pad for enhanced grip and traction.
